Comment répondre à nos besoins actuels sans nuire à la capacité des générations futures à satisfaire les leurs ? C'est là le problème crucial que pose le "développement durable". En 1992, lors de la Conférence de Rio des Nations Unies sur l'environnement et le développement, les pays Membres de l'OCDE se sont engagés à réunir les conditions nécessaires au développement durable. Néanmoins, presque dix ans plus tard, les progrès accomplis restent insuffisants et inégaux. A partir d'analyses réalisées à la suite d'une demande formulée par les ministres de l'OCDE en 1998, ce rapport souligne la nécessité de surmonter très rapidement certains des obstacles les plus importants qui se dressent sur la voie du développement durable. Il fait le point sur les fondements théoriques du développement durable, sur son évaluation et sur les réformes institutionnelles qui s'imposent pour en faire une réalité. Il examine ensuite la contribution que le commerce et les investissements internationaux, de même que la coopération pour le développement, peuvent apporter au développement durable à l'échelle mondiale. Et il dresse le bilan des politiques fondées sur les règles du marché, qu'elles soient réglementaires ou technologiques, mises en oeuvre par les pays de l'OCDE à ce jour dans le but d'atteindre certains objectifs tout en optimisant le rapport coût-efficacité. Cet ouvrage présente en outre une analyse approfondie des politiques conçues pour répondre aux principales menaces qui pèsent sur la durabilité dans les domaines du changement climatique et de la gestion des ressources naturelles. De même, on y trouvera un examen détaillé des politiques répondant aux problèmes qui se posent au niveau sectoriel ou infranational. Il en ressort globalement qu'il existe de nombreuses solutions qui permettraient de faire en sorte que la croissance économique, la protection de l'environnement et le développement social se renforcent mutuellement.

Community theatre is an important device for communities to collectively share stories, to participate in political dialogue, and to break down the increasing exclusion of marginalised groups of citizens. It is practised all over the world by growing numbers of people. Published at the same time as a video of the same name, this is a unique record of these theatre groups in action. Based on van Erven's own travels and experiences working with community theatre groups in six very different countries, this is the first study of their work and the methodological traditions which have developed around the world.

This book shows how participatory government can lead to the unjust and illegitimate exercise of power. It addresses the gulf between the almost universally fashionable rhetoric of participation, promising empowerment and appropriate development. Looking at what actually happens when consultants and activists promote and practice participatory development, this book offers a sharp challenge to the advocates of participatory development. Some contributors look at particular examples of failed participatory practiceothers present more conceptually-oriented analyses. Together they provide a new, rigorous, and provocative understanding of participatory development.

The network is the pervasive organizational image of the new millennium. This book examines one particular kind of network - the 'knowledge network' - whose primary mandate is to create and disseminate knowledge based on multidisciplinary research that is informed by problem-solving as well as theoretical agendas. In their examination of five knowledge networks based in Canadian universities, and in most cases working closely with researchers in developing countries, the authors demonstrate the ability of networks to cross disciplinary boundaries, to blend the operational with the theoretical, and to respond to broad social processes. Operating through networks, rather than through formal, hierarchical structures, diverse communities of researchers create different kinds of knowledge and disseminate their results effectively across disciplinary, sectoral, and spatial boundaries. Analysis of networks in health, environment, urban, and educational fields suggests that old categories of 'north' and 'south' are becoming blurred, and that the new structures of knowledge creation and dissemination help to sustain collaborative research.
